Abstract

A semiconductor light emitting diode includes a compound semiconductor substrate and a double-hetero structure of (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x).sub.y In.sub.1-y P (0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1, 0<y<1) as an active layer, and an upper clad layer of the double-hetero structure has a larger band gap energy (Eg) than the band gap energy of the active layer and has a thickness of 3-50 .mu.m.
